But it matters not, as White and Hunt have both confirmed that Hunt will face Junior dos Santos at UFC 160 in Las Vegas on May 25.

As reported by Ariel Helwani of MMAFighting.com, Hunt and White had a phone conversation that finally settled matters, with both parties more than satisfied with the outcome of the call.

There is no news on who Alistair Overeem will fight now as he recovers from his quad injury.

Hunt (9-7 MMA, 4-1 UFC) enters this bout on an impressive four-fight win streak, with his last victory being a ‘Knockout of the Night’ win over Stefan Struve last weekend at UFC on FUEL TV in the Saitama Super Arena in Japan.

Dos Santos (15-2 MMA, 9-1 UFC), however, is coming off the first loss of his UFC career, losing his heavyweight championship to Cain Velasquez.

UFC 160 is headlined by a heavyweight championship bout between champion Velasquez and Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva, with this Dos Santos/Hunt bout more than likely the co-main event.

I’d tend to agree with you, but age certainly isn’t on Mark’s side so I can’t blame him for wanting to climb as high on the ladder as he can as soon as he can. Two great fighters, should be a FOTN if they keep it standing.

My face is already aching from this epic matchup, god himself couldn’t have organised this shit better, we are actually seeing Mark Hunt 2013 fightting JDS 2013, after all his fans skipped over to the Wrestling side of things.
